In reply to: How do I add a Title name for siteOf course, that makes the title the same on all pages – which may not be ideal.

In reply to: Where is this in default theme?I’m glad you got it worked out…. I apologize for not being able to get back to this, I had dish and then power problems (damn guys with backhoes….) – just got back here finally!
Sorry!

In reply to: Where is this in default theme?Ah…. sorry…. I got confused (not at ALL unusual!) I’ve not used that theme (I Feel Dirty) so don’t have any empirics in reference to it specifically.
But yes, that sort of thing changes theme to theme pretty much. You’ll want to open the single.php file, look at the ids and classes for the divs in the layout, and then look in the style.css file for those ids and classes. Somewhere in there you should find some width declarations; changing widths is perhaps where you want to start.
Without knowing the theme though, what I said there is just so much smoke n’ mirrors – I’d have to download it and look at it myself to give any more concrete information – could you give a link?
[Edit: late here, I’m headed for bed – if you want to just send a link to download the theme to vkaryl *at* bytehaven *dot* com, I’ll look at it in the morning….]

In reply to: Where is this in default theme?Ouch. You’re asking someone who holds NO BRIEF for the “default” theme at all. I knew what to tell you on the sidebar since that’s a common problem….
The “default” theme is a RIGHT BITCH to change though. It’s entirely laid out with graphics instead of being done right with css…. I honestly don’t know what to suggest as far as that, and truthfully I don’t want to know.
The “default” theme is balls-up as far as decent code – I won’t mess with it at all. I don’t know anyone who WILL mess with it. See this thread: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/109189?replies=69
And if you do a search for “default theme” (without the double quotes) you’ll probably find more than several hundred topics just about like that one.
Sorry.

In reply to: Where is this in default theme?Find the single.php file, then edit it as you like. If your theme doesn’t include the single.php file, copy the one from the default to your theme folder.

In reply to: Replacing the default header (oh yes, I’ve searched)danfresh…. re-read this whole thread. Then do a search for “kubrick header” (without the double quotes). Read the 200+ threads returned by search (assuming it’s working – HUGE assumption), until you get tired….
The answer is….
There is not a simple solution. The ONLY solution is to find another theme that is laid out like you want, THEN start tweaking the graphics.

In reply to: Best Hosting for WordPress?Ah…. well, I can’t do better than to send you here:
I run a reseller, website design/management business on NR. I’m MORE than happy. Compared to my previous (long time at that) host, they’re STERLING.

In reply to: New Page WON’T publishHiya, oldstove…. the enlighten template probably is missing the “display pages” stuff that the default includes. You can try inserting this code in your sidebar where you want the Pages list to show:
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>' ); ?>Note that this is the “bare” display as shown in the default theme; there are a lot of other things you can do with it once it’s showing where you want it!
[For a WONDERFUL theme that does super nifty stuff with pages natively, try mistylook – it’s a supremely customizable theme too!]

In reply to: Replacing the default header (oh yes, I’ve searched)Hi Clint –
This thread took on a whole life of its own…. amazing! Yes, Orwellian is a good description!
Please do let us know when you’ve got your site set and going. You’ve been a good patient guy, and you deserve to have the best of fun happen with it!

In reply to: Weird comment found… SPAM or Site Break-In?There’s a page in codex about it, but it’s not loading for me right now so I don’t have an addy for you – if you can load http://codex.wordpress.org/ you can use the search to find it.
Also, before you get REAL enthused over this, you want to do a search here for “pingback trackback spam” – because that’s what’s going to happen eventually if you don’t do some pre-spam fixes.

In reply to: How do I add a Title name for sitePlease stop bumping this topic before a full day has gone by – it’s likely that most people now think you have your answer and also possible that those with a real answer for you live in some other timezone on the planet.
But really, all you have to do to get what you want with this is put this in the head section in header.php:
<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>Note that if the head section of header.php already has a title tagset, you’ll need to replace it, not have two.
